The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



FSBBUABZ 1, 1906. 



J. F. Wilcox. — A good grower and a 

 grand flower, but we have had a good 

 many split calyxes. 



White Lawson. 



S. J. Eeuter. — Elegant bloom; same 

 good habit as the pink Lawson. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Like its parent, 

 very free; fully as vigorous, if not more 

 so; a good variety to add to the general 

 list of commercial sorts; one that will 

 be universally grown where Lawson does 

 well; 52 to 54 degrees. 



Bate Bros. — Like it very much; shall 

 plant it heavily next season. 



Wietor Bros. — It is like pink Lawson 

 in all but color; "nuflf said." 



Patten & Co. — Has done exceedingly 

 well; inclined to have short stems if 

 lifted late in the fall from the open 

 ground. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Good; tendency to 

 blotch; free bloomer and excellent stem. 



N. A. Benson. — The best white, next 

 to Bountiful. 



C. H. Roney. — White Lawson has not 

 done well this season but shall give it 

 another trial. 



J. F. Wilcox. — ^With us might be 

 called Variegated Lawson; good pro- 

 ducer and seller. 



J. A. Budlong. — There are better 

 whites; too short stemmed. 



FredBurki. 



Wietor Bros. — One of the coming 

 whites. 



Bate Bros. — Fine large flower but does 

 not seem to be free enough; will try it 

 again. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Good flower and stem, 

 but do not consider it a profitable va- 

 riety for us to grow. 



8. J. Eeuter. — No good; too shy on 

 flowers. 



C. H. Eoney. — A very fine flower but 

 too slow with us. 



White Cloud. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Very good when 

 well done; when soil and conditions 

 suit, a hard one to let off; plant late; 

 grow 46 to 48 degrees. 



8. J. Eeuter. — Out of date; The Queen 

 is a big improvement over this once fine 

 sort. 



J. A. Budlong. — Too weak in stem; 

 there are better whites. 



N. A. Benson. — Discarded. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Have discarded it. 



Wietor Bros. — One of our old stand- 

 bys. 



Patten & Co. — Outclassed. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded. 



Peru. 



J. A. Budlong. — Grew it in days 

 gone by. 



Patten & Co. — Discarded; inclined to 

 rust; not profitable. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Good flower and pro- 

 lific but stem inclined to be weak; dis- 

 carded. 



N. A. Benson. — Good flower but stem 

 too weak. 



Other Whites. 



S. J. Eeuter says that Vesper is a 

 strong grower, healthy and free, with 

 large flowers on 3-foot stems; not a glis- 

 tening white. 



C. H. Eoney says they like Vesper very 

 much and next in favor to Queen; very 

 profitable. They still grow Norway and 

 consider it a very fine commercial white. 



Wietor Bros, say that Lieut. Peary is 

 the best white of 1905 introduction. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. says that Mary 

 Wood is a fine shaped flower; much 

 called for when in evidence; not very 

 productive. 



J. H. Dunlop says that Glacier has 

 been a stand-by for years, but shall dis- 

 card it this season for Bountiful, Belle 

 and White Lawson. 



Mrs. Lawson. 



J. A. Budlong. — Still a good pink, but 

 think it goes a step backward each year. 



Patten & Co. — Discarded for Pink 

 Patten. 



Bate Bros. — ^Better than ever this sea- 

 son ; was planted from 3-inch pots direct 

 to benches. 



J. H. Dunlop. — ^Best of its color; still 

 in the pink of condition with us. 



N. A. Benson. — Slightly disfigured but 

 still in the ring; the best yet. 



S. J. Eeuter. — ^With us the best paying 

 sort. 



Chas. Knopf. — Shall discard; don't 

 think ii will hold its own. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Still a very 

 good one; more universally grown than 

 any other at present, but three or four 

 more years will see its finish; plant 

 early. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Without doubt the best 

 all-round pink we grow. 



Wietor Bros. — So far unexcelled by 

 any other of its color. 



C. H. Eoney. — Our standard dark pink 

 but this season it has not done so well; 

 we were troubled a great deal with stem- 

 rot. 



Nelson Fisher. 



J. A. Budlong. — Better formed flower, 

 longer stemmed and more productive 

 than Lawson. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Only a small quantity 

 grown; has bden in good form; deeper 

 shade of cerise than Lawson. 



N. A. Benson. — ^Not as good as Law- 

 son. 



S. J. Eeuter. — Not as free with us as 

 Lawson but a better color. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Does not So well with 

 us; shall discard it. 



Patten & Co. — Will grow again; stem 

 inclined to be short if lilted late; 

 should be grown indoors. 



Wietor Bros. — A very good bloomer 

 and deeper in color than Lawson. 



Fiancee. 



Poehlmann Bros. Co. — Grand in fall; 

 finest yet; don't know how it wUl be- 

 have hereafter. 



Bate Bros. — Fine, big flower in fall; 

 now splitting badly; shall try it again. 



J. H. Dunlop. — The early part of tke 

 season the flowers were good; since be- 

 ginning of December about seventy-five 

 per cent burst the calyx; disappointing; 

 may grow a few next season, but not 

 many. 



J. A. Budlong. — Has split seventy-five 

 per cent under our culture; believe it 

 will prove all right with our own propa- 

 gation and improved culture. 



N. A. Benson. — So far the best I ever 

 grew, but starting to split too much and 

 hard to root. 



J. F. Wilcox. — ^With us it splits badly; 

 will try it another season and hope for 

 better success. 



Wietor Bros. — Shall try it again next 

 year. 



Chas. Knopf. — Will give it another 

 year. 



S. J. Eeuter. — First flowers split 

 badly; have raised temperature to 56 

 degrees; much improved; splendid flower 

 in color and form; very strong grower. 



Patten & Co. — ^A failure to date. 



Fair Maid. 



S. J. Eeuter. — Not free enough dur- 

 ing midwinter; fine in hot weather. 

 Patten & Co. — Shall not grow it again. 

 N. A. Benson. — Too small here. 



Mrs. Nelson. 



J. A. Budlong. — ^Don't succeed with 

 us, while some of our neighbors seem to 

 get good results. 



Patten & Co. — Not profitable with us; 

 discarded. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Discarded. 



N. A. Benson. — Too much grass and 

 not large enough; a poor keeper. 



J. F. Wilcox. — A fine flower and good 

 grower but a cropper. 



Eclipse. 



J. H. Dunlop.— Flowers medium in 

 size; extra long stem; very promising; 

 think well of the variety. 



J. F. Wilcox. — Long wiry stem; good 

 flower. 



Indianapolis. 



S. J. Eeuter. — It is of no use to me. 



J. H. Dunlop. — Grew some last season, 

 a few again this year, but shall discard 

 as not satisfactory. 



N. A. Benson. — Fairly good flowers 

 but stock not healthy.
